“Is it a good time or even possible to SELL my HOME during the Covid-19 pandemic?”

We are all going through some very interesting & tough times right now. Many of our clients feel that they cannot sell their homes at this moment. I’ll be honest, I felt the same way when this pandemic began. But what we found was that it can still be done. We have adapted & continue to help our clients safely buy & sell their homes right now. Here’s how.

This inventory shortage, which spread widely throughout our local housing market going into today’s economic slowdown, created an environment where there were not enough homes for sale for those who wanted to buy them.

With the current quarantine recommendations in place, fewer sellers are listing homes, which will limit buyer choices.

So, with buyer choices already limited going into this season, and more sellers removing listings today, if you’ve been thinking about listing your house, it’s a great time to do so. Many others in your neighborhood may be waiting to make a move or removing their listings, so staying on the market – or jumping into it – could work to your advantage.

Buyers today are serious ones, and with prices holding steady in this low-inventory market, you can feel confident about selling today. Embracing the process virtually, where available, could help your house hit the top of an eager buyer’s list. While your neighbors miss out on this opportunistic time, you don’t have to.

Bottom Line

If buyer choices are limited in your neighborhood, selling now may help your listing rise to the top of the pool. Reach out to Ricardo the Realtor today to make sure you have the expert help you need to succeed in the selling process.
